Re: A bug, I think, in key-binding

[I sent this message a week ago but did not get a response.]

    I don't think the two are incompatible: currently, key-binding does not work
    if one of the keys in the sequence is an event (rather than just a char or
    a symbol),

Yes, it does work in that case.  (I just tested it.)

    Moving point is not sufficient if the click is on an image-map, or on
    before-string.  I'd rather reuse the C code if at all possible rather than
    try to mimick it in elisp (unless we can completely replace the C version
    with the elisp version).

That is a valid point; this needs to be implemented at C level.

Perhaps an optional argument to key-binding is the way to do it.
Would you like to implement that?
